Muzhgan Nazarova v. Duke University

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Muzhgan I. Nazarova seeks to appeal the district court’s order directing arbitra *640 tion in her civil action, brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012), against Duke University. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The appealed order stayed the district court proceedings pending arbitration of Nazarova’s claims. Consequently, the order is neither a final order nor an ap-pealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 9 U.S.C. § 16(b) (2012). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
